Ok, first of all...IM UPDATING AGAIN! Tho its again so very late. I think i have zilion things on my mind right now and im afraid i'll make this a HUGE post *pounders* or i should separate it into 2 posts since...naah i'll just keep it as one post. Sorry it's so graphically full, but i kinda hate making lj-cuts coz the page formatting disappears then ^_^;
Second of all i'd like to comment on my OBSESSION. Yeah you read it right, i declare myself obsessed over ToA. But i mean...who cant love those two readhead idiots? I've been practicing drawing them, and i think im on a right path. Tho im really annoyed with the fact that they look diferent in each pic!! AAAGH!
I read fanfics, i snoop around for ANY kind of doujinshis and artbooks (tho i really dont have any, because my country doesent sell these kind of things...ya have to order it trough net...but i have bad experience with things getting stolen, before they arrive) *sigh*
...I apreciate any kind of post i find on

talesoftheabyss.. Really that place is awesome for an abyss fan ^_^
Im already on a second playthrough now. With japanese undubbed version, but it kinda sucks coz the voices start to mix somewhere in half of the game. I really prefer original voices over english ones (but ive said that many times now) Luke and Asch sound so much better kyaa ^_^
I decided that this time i'll take things slower and actually do any sidequests i bump into...but well haha thats kind of a problem. I cant find most of the sidequests without any guides, and the internet guides i've read only write about main story =_= I wanna play the mushroom road, i hear its pretty and funny! Uh and i think im begining to fall into Jade/Guy hmmm, i think i see some hints out there hahaha. But really its just some artists fault for drawing such yummy pics of these two ^_^
I've been having these...daydreams about Asch and Luke doing...stuff :D Now i would defintely like to draw them (unfortunately i lack experience in drawing those uhm..poses) Oh and there's been something bothering me a tiiiny bit XD
Whenether Asch is a seme or not :D I've seen so many pics of him being uke (*gasp* Luke can be so dominant!) but really...^_^ the way i see Asch is...a shy seme hehe. Thats why Luke has to get that out of him, by teasing. Once that is done... i'll leave the rest to your imagination ^_^
Hm, my plans for the near future...I really REALLY want to draw more Asch and Luke pics, and someday (i hope) draw sum kinky doujinshi.

meimi. has done a wonderful job in sparkling up my imagination with her AMAZING fics. I shall worship her like a goddess hehe ^_^ I havent met anyone (in RL or on net) that would write such interesting and sexy fics *giggles* I also planned to make a short doujinshi based on her cute fic "The gift" which is so sweet and warm, it could melt all the snow in Ketterburg.
Okay, here's sum art now.
( Better than cookies )Okay, this pic is based on meimi's fic "Better than cookies" i found really...yummy haha. I had LOADS of trouble in drawing thisone. Asch was ok but Luke...damn i couldnt and couldnt figure out how to draw his hands O_O. I also started to color thisone (actually i have it colored already, but it needs some finishing touches :))
( Uhh... )Im so proud of thisone! Asch looks...like Asch haha! I finnaly got his hair right, he doesent look like a cockatoo now :D Im not so pleased with Luke tho...there's just sumtin about him thats...wrong. Maybe i'll figure it out later :D
Khm...this is a sneak preview of a kinky pic im makin...i have LOADS of troubles with it, but in anycase i like Luke's expression heeheee ^_^
( chibi )Oh and little sumtin from vectorisation. I might turn this later into an icon if i feel like it :)
Oh and last thing for todays post. I found this art survey on
LJ, and i just felt like solving it myself :)
Here it is!
▶ Who is the character you've drawn the most? (Can be original or fanart)
Hm, till now, that would probably Yuki Eiri from Gravitation (but he's soon to be outrun by Asch and Luke haha)
▶ What colour do you often use?
Peachy I guess :D
▶ Any colour you are bad at using?
Not that I would know...
▶ When drawing people, where do you start?
I start at the face, then moving to hair and expression etc…
▶ What is a character only your eraser will love?
Definitely Axel, I just cant get ANYTHING right on him.
▶ Which of your works took the longest time?
Huh, that are probably the oil paintings i’ve done so far.
▶ What techniques do you use when you want to improve in drawing?
I usually look at other peoples art, or some tutorials on the internet. I also have How to draw manga books, but I don’t think that’s much of a help…
▶ What art tools/media are you good with?
Pencil, oil colors, brushes pen tablet(coloring mostly)…
▶ Art tools/media you are bad at?
I think that’d be watercolors…as much as I love them I kinda always think they are oil colors, which act totally differently...
▶ What do you think about your own art?
Im not so confident in my art, since it often ends with a sketch, but i guess it can be cute :D
▶ Do you consult magazines for your drawings?
Hm, not really, but I do work for some magazine. But its just minor illustrations.
▶ What do you like about your art?
:D…My art is …um….mmm, I think its cute most of the time :D
▶ What habits do you have while drawing?
Staring at paper for waaaay too long. When I get the pose and feeling of the pic I my head I kinda have to shut my vision off and look at that idea. Feels weird, and probably looks funny since I stare at the paper for like…haha 10 mins without even flinching: D
▶ Are you good at drawing faces facing right?
That’s funny I never asked myself that question, tho I must say it is a lot harder than a fac facing left…I nearly always draw them facing left…unless its some shonen ai haha ^_^
▶ How frequently do you draw?
Humm, sometimes I draw for…like a whole day, and sometimes I don’t draw for a month or so. It really depends on my feeling ^ _^;
▶ What do you do when you have artist's block?
I mope around a while and then I force myself to doodle…sometimes it gets me out of the block, and sometimes it doesent. The longest block I had was kinda half a year long…and yea Im not joking.
▶ What must you have when you draw?
Pencil and a paper, I love pencil sketches ^_^
▶ Do you have a lot of stray lines (messy lineart)?
Uhhh ^_^; yeah…my sketches are pretty messy, tho I’ve seen messier art than mine so im not really concerned over it :D
▶ What is drawing to you?
Expressing my feelings, killing time, havin really fun when trying to draw an H pose hahaha! XD
▶ Your goal from now on
I wish to improve my art to the point I wont need any help from other arts :D
▶ Artists you've had influence from?
Hmmmm, I think that with every anime I like, my art changes a bit.
▶ Artists you like?
I definetly ADORE Kazuma Kodaka, her art is the best! Nomura Tetsuya and Kosuke Fujishima, Yuki Yoshiyama( I love Mushishi!)…and a few more probably, which I cant remember at the moment XD
▶ Which is easier to draw, humans or animals?
Depends…I think both of them are hard to draw
▶ Please tell us the title(s) of your own comic(s)
Hahaha, I have some titles but I never finished any of them.
“The world of Godsrealm” which I think had the best potential of actually being a comic, then there’s
“Dreams” uh….sumtin I did when I was totally in need of a boyfriend. *pounders*
Oh and my favourite “Afterschool adventure: The cronicles of antrakinon” which is totally hilarious The title was born during chemistry when my dear classmate said that names antrakinon and antrakinol sounded like names of some heroes :D
“iWicked” which is wicked but I never came down to actually draw more than few shorties. And I probably have few more but I cant remember them hehe ^_^;
▶ Show us an old picture
Haahahahha…this is horrible
▶ What is the charm-point of your art?
Lol, I really don’t know but my friends say its cute, so I say its cute :D
▶ What is the first thing you would draw if we're talking about fantasy?
Faeries, I love faeries, faeries rule.
▶ Please draw your most beloved character
Can I draw 2? I love Asch and Luke haha ^_^
( The hug )(Sorry its a quick sketch)
▶ When thinking of characters is it mostly female? male? or androgynous/no sex?
DEFINITELY male :D :D
▶ What did you draw yesterday?
Asch/Luke based on the fic “Betterthan cookies” by meimi
▶ What is the funnest part to draw?
That’d be face and face expressions. I love the variety of them in anime style, you can practically draw ANY emotion you can think of :D
▶ What part of other people's drawings do you notice first?
Faces.
▶ Regarding backgrounds, what is your method of making it easier to draw?
Uuuuh…I VERY rarely draw backgrounds…but when I do, I draw them borderless and add depth to it by blurring far away objects. Tho I still suck at it…
▶ What colour coordinations do you like?
I like all colors! 8D
▶ What character did you last draw?
Asch and Luke ^_^
▶ Does your style change easily?
Unfortunately it chances too easily, thus too often. I don’t really have my own style I think…hm maybe the chibi stuff :D
▶ What part of drawing do you pay most attention to?
Face face and face once again. I think the expression on it adds the final touch to the pic.
▶ How do you feel about drawing H pictures?
Ahahaha…I wanna draw them, I do draw them, but I lack imagination when it comes to…more active poses. I do mostly shoen ai stuff…light topics. Im too embarrassed to actually draw anything more…khm vivid :D
▶ Do you like criticism from others?
Yeah to some extent I do. It makes me think about my art and how to improve it. But I simple HATE stupid people who think they know EVERYTHING about art, and go bitching about anatomy when they never WATCHED ANY ANIME!! *curses* Uhm…I prefer good comments to criticism. They make me wanna do more and more art :D
▶ How many people do you normally draw per artwork?
Usually 2, when it comes to shonen ai…which is mostly what I draw
▶ When you were a kid did you think of become illustrator/comic artist/etc? If you did, do you still hold that dream now?
I had NO idea I would even draw, when I was a kid..actually I waned to be a Pet-vet but after I saw my cat getting operated I kinda changed my mind reeeeally quickly.
I got a dream of being a good illustrator later…much later and I still have it ^_^
▶ At the end please add a question:
Ever thought about making a reeealy long doujinshi?
Haha, actually I think about that all the time :D
And thats about all for now ^_^
